BIG GERMAN GUN
OPERATING SOUTH OF METZ Rec. 10.50 a.m. LONDON, October 18. The censorship ban has been lifted on the news that a big German railway gun, described as the great-grand-child of "Big Bertha" of the last war, is operating between Metz and Nancy, lobbing 7001b shells over a wide area! A correspondent of the Associated Press of Great Britain with the American Third Army says that the gun fires at a range of 30 miles, but is inaccurate. It is useful for harassing fire against big targets.
